I was also going back and forth on this article. At one point I thought it was some kind of hoax/prank because of the wiggling cat ears also sold by the company selling MindWave (not ears for a cat, but for a person to wear - I still think that part has to be a joke). I don't want to post the link, but if you Google "necomimi", you will see what I mean.

However, the most frightening thing in the article has to be the instruction at the end that makes me think about the neuralizer from Men in Black:

Blink your eyes to change the led's state and erase from your mind all the think, except the LED!!

My guess is that he has done so with no intention of any kind. Just didn't know what to write in his profile, so he cut and pasted his resume. I sent him a private email, and I believe he will fix that.

I've gone through your recent message history and all seems OK. I've restored your account. Perhaps the joke was misunderstood? The account reports go on the profile and not the post themselves, so it's difficult to pinpoint the specific message. Hopefully all is well now. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Just opened CP homepage and happen to see the vote count on the article competition survey. I remember the details couple of days back. May be it is OK, but I see sudden vote jump atleast in WebDev & Overall category (Total numbers suddenly increased at a super rate and WebDev total has suddenly crossed Overall). Around 25+ votes in 2 days that too for a single article[^].
Has someone else observed the same? As said, I may be wrong but to me it definitely looks like worth looking into.

BTW, the gap is still there. If it is sock-puppet account case, we can see more votes and hike at good rate!

At least 90% of the accounts that leaved a "My Vote of 5" message seem legitime, mostly over a year old. With reputation enough to be active users and with pictures.

I have just given a quick check without reading the content and it is not a thema where I am good at. But at least the format and how it is designed looks nice.

There are many cases of socket pupeteers but in this one, I don't think it (or at least is not that evident)

During last days, I was amazing some most invalid, illiterate or otherwise helpless questions, and wanted to look at other posts of the same members. To my surprise, many of them became "experts" answering questions. Yes, in some cases, those answers were legitimate, good or bad. I don't mention them. But many, very many fake answers. Here is what I got recently:

This is not all. I left out nearly as many abusers or potential abusers. I did not pay much attention unless people self-accepted the "answers". Some good number of them I already warned and removed fake answers; some even promised to stop bad practice. And I am not sure about some more, as the abuse looks minor.
